AEUPL-1.2: The Ancient European Union Public License

Field notes

AEUPL separates ordinary reuse into two paths: non-commercial users receive broad perpetual rights, while commercial users must satisfy a physical correspondence ritual before permission can be granted. The page defines commercial use broadly enough to include paid services, paid products, and some revenue-attributable internal use, while excluding nonprofit, academic, personal, evaluation, and testing activity. Its eight-section structure gives the joke a recognizable legal framework rather than presenting it as a one-line stunt.
